Summary
This study looks at whether doing very short, intense bike sprints (just 10–20 seconds, once or twice per session, two days a week) can improve heart and lung fitness in inactive adults. Sixty healthy but inactive participants will do these sprints for 9 weeks, and their results will be compared to a group that does not exercise. The goal is to see if this tiny amount of exercise is enough to make a real health difference.
